I am anxious to hear the solos of some of the new boys. I am sure we will see some of them performing their first solos either this year or next.

Yeah!! Which makes me think that some members like Zack will probably never get a solo.....

Never say never Zac might just get his chance if not this year maybe next after all both Josh & Tom are 14 this year!

Thats true.... and maybe Jakob Wood will get a couple of solo's too!!

Yeah, cool. I can't wait to hear the solo voices of the younger boys too! Hopefully, every boy who wants a solo do get one, sooner or later. I'm quite sure every boy could handle a solo, if not a part solo isn't too bad either. I think Liam, Joe and Ben would get quite a few new solos, since they are pretty good at it now.

I have faith in Zack and he may get a solo soon. And I know Joe has done a solo during a concert, would have loved to hear him do a solo, and Live!!

Zack not getting a solo could also be his decision. I know it all the years I was a performer, close to 20, I never wanted to have a solo. I prefered being in the main group and did not seek the spotlight as a soloist. There was a time in my junior year in high school, I was part of 6 different musical groups at the same time and in not one did I ever want to play a solo. The closest was the brass quintet I was in.

So, it could be that Zack and the rest who never have solos just don't want them. As I recall, Raoul never had one and I don't think Callum ever has either, though I could be wrong about him.

Didn't Callum sing a solo in the last version of Ave Maria performed by Libera on SOP?

I don't have a copy of that vid so I really don't know.

TEB · Post by **TEB** » 16 years ago

Ok, I just watched the Ave Maria vid here on this board and that is not Callum singing but Connor O'Donnell who has, this year, left the group.

The similarity between the names Callum and Connor has messed me up on occasion as well.

Did Callum not sing 'Prayer' with Michael Horncastle at some point?

Quinnsome · Post by **Quinnsome** » 16 years ago

Yes, on the album Visions Callum did sing the harmony with Michael doing the solo...
I think they sounded great together.

It's a valid point though, not every boy will feel comfortable performing solo. You see boys like Tom, Josh, Mini-Ben and how natural they are on stage and in the spotlight, but it wouldn't be true for everyone.

I felt a bit awkward as a teenager, it was until the last year or so at school, that I gained confidence and came out of my shell. There's no way at 8-13 you would have got me singing solo in front of the kind audiences Libera get, even if I theoretically had the most amazing voice ever lol

Yeah its really up to the boys whether or not they can take on a solo, Im sure Robert offers them one if they wish but who knows.

You're right. My bad.
